Except that when I buy insurance from a private company, I get to make a
bunch of decisions - the first of which is whether or not I want to buy it
at all. I can choose how much coverage I want, what terms and conditions I
am willing to accept, who will provide the medical care, who will provide
the insurance, how much I will pay, etc. If I am unhappy with the coverage I
have, I can make choices and change things.
When a government provides health care - choices go out the window. Quality
goes down. Costs go up. Rationing takes place. etc.
And it is a fundamental law of economics that health care is *never* going
to reach 100% of the population so arguing it needs to come from government
or some people will be left out will violate the laws of supply and demand.
